"I think this is going to give them that extra aspect of student life you would normally get at a traditional four-year school," Harrell said. "Students will find a lot of opportunities they typically would not get by living at home with including themselves in groups and activities."

Laurie Krasin, regional director of communications, said every aspect of the Vue Campus apartments were built and designed with students in mind.

"Students living on campus are able to attend athletic and social events and get more involved in student organizations, which builds leadership skills," she said. "It is also easier to connect with other students for group study and peer support."

Krasin said parents can feel more at ease with their student's living situation, knowing campus operates under strong security standards.

"Living in a professionally-managed student apartment complex can provide a safe and more gradual transition from living at home to living on your own," Krasin said. "It’s also just a short walk to class. So, no more excuses for being late to class in the winter."
